Default Re: Does SEIV run on XP????

I did not say that you had to release Linux source code. But under the GPL/GNU you have to release the source code of programs you base on open source software itself under the GPL/GNU. You can not make it closed code.
The case with SCO may be a sham but oif your company stands in the line with millions and billions of dollars you might have another few on the issue but to take any risks. Trust me on this one, I work for one of the biggest computer companies on this planet as a lawyer.
And the point is not how fast Microsoft will fix a bug but that they have the money to compensate you and your customer if they screw up big times. If you screw up your customer with open source software you have no one ti mitigate the damage. See my point?
